British national Richard Reid, also known as the 'shoe bomber', attempted to detonate a bomb hidden in his shoe on a trans-Atlantic flight in 2001. The recent incident in the Lok Sabha, where visitors managed to smuggle smoke canisters into the Parliament, has revealed security gaps. The incident highlights the need for stricter security measures, such as removing shoes for screening and deploying full-body scanners. The home ministry has ordered an inquiry into the breach and a committee will investigate the reasons and recommend further action.
